Everything depends what are the standards in your installation, in my case the UNIX deportment have opened a range for DB2 instances between 19000 to 19999.
And Db2 will get the connection that is specified into the /etc/services file.
During the Client Configuration DB2 ask for the SERVICE name and the PORT #, the same have to be configured and match with what it is into the /etc/services as:
/etc/services
# Service?Instance name Port #
duiu501 19000/tcpip
duiu502 19001/tcpip
and so on.
Hope this help!

Thanks to Mike Leberman for the response on my query regarding node and database directories. This has led to a further question.
The default TCP port numbers for db2 are 50000 for the connection channel and 50001 for the interrupt channel. Our unix bods have advised that solaris may use ports in the range 32768 thru 65535 by default for a TCP connection source. If a solaris server by chance has 50000/50001 open as a source port at db2 startup, then problems will occur.
Has anyone experienced such problems? Are you using the default port numbers 50000/50001 or have you adopted your own local standards using port numbers <32K?
Grateful for any advice.
Regards,
Jerry Long
